THE LAST WILL BE

Matthew 20:16 (NKJV) 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."
   We must be careful what we embrace, we may still fall. A man slipped on a ledge that was covered with loose shale, high in the mountains no one could help, as he slid down to certain doom, he grabbed an ever green plant that was barely the size of a basketball, his decent stopped and he breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately he felt the roots begin to give and he was sliding again, this time he snagged a tree and was saved.
   Don't cling to ideas or ideals make sure you know the truth, Jesus very clearly says we must accept Gods plan for our life and no other, "I am the Way the Truth and the Life." Emphatically God told the Israelites "you shall have no other Gods before you," yet we cling to the things in this life that will eventually meet with our destruction. Make sure you take the Tree of Life and not the bush of satisfaction, the Last (Jesus) will be First.
Heavenly Father help us to grasp the Word, You have provided, let us not slip on the deceit of others. May we cling to the solid Rock of your Truth and let all else go. Amen
